We need to save Mother Earth for the future generations to experience the comfortable life that we are experiencing right now.

Mother Earth needs us to keep our covenant. We will do this in courts, we will do this on our radio station, and we will commit to our descendants to work hard to protect this land and water for them. Whether you have feet, wings, fins, or roots, we are all in together. – Winona LaDuke
